Get ready to turn your marketing Upside Down. AMA Knoxville’s “Marketer Things” is a day-long opportunity for you to uncover the secrets behind exceptional communications strategy – tactics even more effective than walkie talkies and ham radios…

It’s true, we’re not in the 80’s anymore. We’re bringing in some modern marketing experts to share their knowledge in content, digital, social media, video, and dungeon mastery (well, maybe not that last bit).

Whether you work for an agency or on a corporate/non-profit team, serve as a solo marketing operation, or own your own business – the day’s sessions and speakers will help take your marketing skills to the next (almost supernatural) level.
